In talking to so many business owners, I can report that most feel like Charles Dickens’ young Oliver Twist with his nose pressed up against the dining room window filled with people and good food.

Do you feel like Oliver Twist in the new economy? Image from http://www.charlesdickenspage.com/illustrations-twist.html

“Can I have some more?” he asks, only to get pushed away.

While the economy is improving and a few owners are eating well again, most are still watching with envy.

But there is no question that phones are ringing, inquiries are coming in, and wallets are opening slowly. If you felt the recession earlier in the cycle, you should be coming out of it faster! Please realize that if the Gross National Product is growing and your business isn’t then someone else is eating your lunch.

So please, Ask For More!
